Better than cinder, not quite as well paced maybe as Scarlet, but I still really enjoyed it! It took a little time at the beginning but then it really built, and the characters are so fun to spend time with!

I loved the addition of Cress to the series and learning about her. It was great following the characters in their adventures and seeing all the threads of the different storylines coming together. Once I picked up the book it was hard to put down with all the action going on. I can't wait to read Winter to find out what happens next.

Edit 8-18-15: I decided to lower my rating on this down to 9/10.
[Check out my post on the whole series here]
Cress is a retelling of Rapunzel. Cress has been locked within a satellite for most of her life and in that time has become a pretty accomplished hacker. She wants nothing more than to get off of her satellite, and she might have just finally discovered her way out...
So far, Cress is my least favorite character. Not just of the main girls, but of all of the lead characters. I don't hate her, I'm just not a big fan. This makes me extremely glad that the story doesn't just focus on her plot. However, I do have to mention that I did think that the plot hit a bit of a lull not too far into this book. That generally doesn't happen in this series, since there are so many different plots weaving together and even if one is a little slow, the rest have something interesting going on, but it just hit a point where all of them weren't extremely intriguing and therefore it felt a little slow. HOWEVER, that's not to say that I didn't like it-- it just wasn't quite as interesting as the rest of the book.
However, that's the only semi-negative thing that I have to say about this book, because the rest of it was awesome. Once the lull ended, the plot got really intriguing and built up more and more toward the AWESOME last 150 pages. Seriously, though, I'm pretty sure that I got through the last 150 pages in slightly over an hour. I'm a pretty fast reader, and with a book that's as easy to read as this one, I can usually get through about 100 pages in an hour. But 150, that's just crazy fast even for me. I was just so invested in what was going on because it had this great mix of action and information reveals and it just kept me on my toes and kept me flying through it.
Once again, I also really enjoyed the way that the original tale was reworked into this story. Overall, despite the lull that I felt occurred during this one, the rest of the book made up for that and more. I decided to give it 9.5 stars out of 10 because what even was that ending?!

I finished this months ago but have not been keeping up with Goodreads so I muat have forgotten to write about it. At this point I have nothing to say about it other than that a good but not great YA series continues to be good but not great.
